For almost 2 years, my husband has been flying free(plus taxes and fees) courtesy of the Southwest Companion pass. We’ve been able to travel domestically, as well as trips to Cuba and Mexico on Southwest.
Now that our CP is coming to a close, we must repeat the process to earn it for 2022/2023. We’ll do that by earning 125,000 points in a calendar year. The Companion pass is good for the remainder of the year you earn 125k points and the next year. So to get the most out of a CP, it’s best to earn it in January.
You can earn the CP by flying, but here’s how we will do it:
Apply for the Southwest Rapid Rewards Business Performance Card in October 2021. Complete the minimum spend requirements ON or AFTER January 1, 2022 & receive 80,000 points.
Apply for the Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus (personal card) at least 30 days later. Complete minimum spend requirements ON or AFTER January 1, 2022 & receive 50,000 bonus points.
We will now have at least 137,000 points. More than enough points to earn the companion pass. It will show up in our Southwest app and my husband can now add me as a companion, since we will be switching roles.
NOTE:
a. You can only earn a bonus on the personal card if you haven’t had a bonus from a SW personal card in 24 months.
b. You can’t currently hold a SW personal card and open another.
c. You can open both business cards and receive bonuses.
d. If you complete the minimum spend in December. You will only have the CP for the rest of December and the next year. DON’T MESS THIS UP!
Let me know if you have any questions.
